    If only there were some sort of rapid covid test you could take to check instead of just headcanoning whether or not you have covid.

      If you don’t have any symptoms, why would you use a RAT? I’m not sure what they cost where you are, but they aren’t all that cheap in Australia.

        Feels weird to dunk on someone else’s healthcare system as an American, but I have a shit ton of rapid tests that the US government gave me for free.

          Haha yeah but the reason we have to pay for them now is that we have 90%+ vaccination rate so Covid really isn’t a big deal here any more. The vaccines are free. The RATs were also free until a year ago.

          As someone working in a public place, I used the ten they gave me already (they only did it once iirc). Where do I stock up on these other shit ton of free tests? I had to pay out of pocket the last four, and that gets fucking expensive.

      A lot of the rapid tests had problems with false negatives, no?
